Safe for Your Skin, Amazing for Your Glow!
After (3) three weeks of using Tree of Life Tranexamic Acid Serum for Face, I’m honestly so happy with it. I have some stubborn dark spots and sun damage on my cheeks that usually take forever to budge, but they are definitely starting to look lighter and more blurred out. What I love most is how gentle it is. My skin can be pretty sensitive when trying new things, but this didn't cause any redness or breakouts at all. It’s a nice, lightweight liquid that sinks right into the skin without leaving that annoying sticky or greasy feeling, so it plays really well under my morning moisturizer and makeup. Plus, it gives my face a really pretty, healthy-looking glow. If you're looking for something straightforward to help even out your skin tone without irritating it, I highly recommend giving this a shot. Definitely worth the buy! 💯 RECOMMEND I Also recommend using **** Tree of Life PDRN Serum with Salmon DNA Serum for Face - Firming Serum for Fine Lines & Wrinkles with Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, CICA & Pink Vitamin B12, Beginner Friendly serum. I use both of these serums by Tree of Life, both mornings,before applying make-up & at night as part of my facial skin care regime. Safe for your skin Amazing for your Glow 💯 * both of these Tree of Life facial products have earned a spot on my daily "facial skin care' shelf!

Lightweight and Easy to 7
This serum has been a pleasant addition to my skincare routine. The texture feels lightweight and smooth, making it easy to apply without leaving a heavy feeling behind. I also like the hydrating effect, which leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed after use. The vitamin C makes it a nice option for adding a brightening step to a daily routine. It absorbs nicely and works well under my other skincare products. Overall, it’s a simple, convenient serum that I’ve enjoyed incorporating into my routine.

I can honestly give this retinol serum 5-stars
For the price, I don't think this serum can be beat. My reasoning is below. First, the things some people may not like: - This retinol serum is not "thick," but it is not like water either. I would put it at a "thin gel" consistency. This isn't a bad thing in and of itself (you won't lose it "running away" like watery serums), but some people like the watery-type serums more. This is definitely thicker than water. - This serum contains retinol. I know this is an odd reason to say someone may dislike it, but I read a lot of the negative reviews before purchasing this product (I always do), and many of them seemed directly related to retinol itself. Until skin is used to it, which can take a couple of weeks, retinol can burn, flake, and cause skin irritation. I never use new retinol products more than 2-3 times a week until I know my skin is used to it... and if you aren't willing to do that with any new retinol product, you can expect some irritation. - The packaging is more than adequate, and pretty protective, but it is incredibly simple. I assume that's why it costs less than some other retinol serums on Amazon (they didn't spend the money on packaging?), but every other retinol I've ordered/bought in stores has had pretty nice/fancy packaging. I didn't mind the packaging because I didn't buy it for the packaging, and the packaging wasn't in any way ugly... but it's not "spiffy," which might throw some people off (the product itself looks high quality and nice, the contact info is a US company, and the bottle was sealed, so we're good there). Now the good: - It has, literally, the same active ingredients as some of the much higher priced serums out there. No joke. I don't know how this is possible (again, packaging?), but after talking to a few companies through email... there is literally no difference in the active ingredients. - It has worked as well for me as my normal, much higher priced retinol-based products. I know each person's skin is different (disclaimer: my skin is already acclimated to retinol), but I see no difference in my skin between this and my other retinol which was five times the price. Obviously, I didn't expect a miracle product (I don't buy into that hype), but at this price I feel it has more than lived up to its value. - Many of the ingredients are organic (the title says 72%), and it is vegan (I asked). BONUS! - They contacted me in an email after I ordered and told me they have a 100% money-back guarantee, even if the bottle is empty. I think that's a bit ridiculous, especially as this cost me less than $11, but who am I to judge... I won't be sending it back, but evidently you can if you want to. - The product came with a card which had their customer service's email on it (I used it to ask if the serum was vegan, which it is). Oh, and I got a message after I emailed them, from the "founder of the company," asking if I had any questions on how to use the serum, asking if I was "satisfied," and reminding me that if I didn't like it I could return it for a refund. I didn't respond, but was pretty impressed by the fact they reached out on an $11 product. For the reasons above, I feel I can give this product a solid 5-stars. If I change my mind for any reason (if it stops working as well as my normal retinol, for instance), I will update this, but I have definitely gotten my money's worth. I have read their vit c serum is fairly decent, so may try that next. I am still undecided as I like my current c serum, so would appreciate anyone who has used it responding to this to give me your thoughts (I prefer "verified purchase" responders please, because I trust those more). Thank you for reading, and if my review helped, please vote it up below.

Seems to be effective without being overly-irritating.
I like this product because it contains retinol as well as hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic acid makes my skin look and feel nice, and should offset some of the irritation from the retinol. I was a bit nervous the retinol in this product may not be effective because of others saying it caused no irritation, effective retinol does often cause at least some minor irritation during initial treatment. After a week or so of use I didn't notice visible irritation but I did notice my skin becoming a bit more sensitive at times. I am not one of those people who thinks that products need to sting or they aren't working, but that minor irritation did prove to me that the retinol in my bottle is effective due to the nature of retinol. Like I said before, the hyaluronic acid in the product may offset the irritation a bit. I think this is a great product, it seems to be working nicely and I like the formulation. You do need to use a teensy bit more product than I find with some serums because this product doesn't have as much slip or spread quite as well, but you still don't need to use much. This isn't a problem for me, though, because retinol should be repurchased every month or so anyway because after that period of time the effectiveness is really decreased due to exposure to air, unless it is in a vacuum-sealed bottle. I like this product a lot and will be repurchasing. EDIT: I'm now a month in and this product is definitely working, my icepick acne scars are really starting to fade and my sebacious hyperplasia, which are permanent bumps on my skin caused by skin overgrowth in my oil glands, are diminishing. Keep in mind that retinol is more effective when not combined with an acidic product, so I use my face wash with Beta hydroxy acid (salicylic acid - a pore cleanser) in the morning when I use my other serum, and use a cleanser without any acids in it at night before I apply this serum. I also ceased my alpha hydroxy acid (glycolic acid) night cream so as to give this product the full benefit. I had begun applying it before my skin was 100% dry after cleansing since when my skin is ever so slightly damp the product does spread easier, resulting in an ability to use less product, but keep in mind that doing things that way (slightly damp skin) does cause the retinol to penetrate the skin deeper which can cause more irritation. I have actually just repurchased this product even though I have quite a bit left, because retinol that is not packaged in a vacuum seal is most effective within the first month or so after opening due to gradual breakdown of the retinol as it is exposed to air. So in the future I will be applying it to totally dry skin, which is the suggested way, and just using a bit more product since I am repurchasing it monthly and there is definitely enough to get through a month with slightly more liberal application than I was doing.

Not helping fade sun spots
I have been using this for almost 3 months and I do not see any difference in my sun spots or complexion. It's not a bad product it just hasn't worked for me so far. Not sure how long it takes to fade sun spots but I don't see any improvement.

A good product

TREE OF LIFE WORK MIRACLES ON FACIAL LINES PORES AND WRINKLES
I gave tree of life a 5 star for the Retinol because it made alot of fine lines, facial lines and wrinkles under my eyes disappear within 1 week. I have also been using Kojic san acid soap as a cleaner and Thayers witch hazel with aloe vera formula and real rose petals alcohol free. I rinsed with cold water only. Before the Retinol Kojic acid did smooth skin removed wrinkles and shrink large pores as i still had few on my skin. I used the soap once daily at least 5 or 6 days out of tbe week. I still use the soap and after i use toner if not toner tree of life Retinol and allow to dry then i apply tree of life Haluronic Acid and both Retinol and Haluronic Acid wiped away the wrinkles fine lines frown lines shrunked pores smooth skin brighten skin firmed skin moisturized skin and feels so smooth and baby soft. I see a big difference in my skin after buying the Retinol. I received the Haluronic Acid Free for purchasing the retinol as a Free gift by confirming order email address and complete mailing address and the quicker i responded the quicker i received as promised from tree of life as well as free skin care guidance as little as 1 week. I love the way this product change my skin and i include it in my regimen daily and would recommend this product amd its safe on skin. I will continue to by this product each time as needed and before running out. Thank you tree of life for removing this terrible facial line i couldnt stand sight on my face and fine lines under my eye area. Makeup looks flawless now. I am one happy satisfied customer. Again thank you Tree of Life : ) PS if you have sensitive skin like i have do not use Kojic San Acid Soap because the acid in the soap will cause a stinging hot burning sensation after applying Retinol apply small amount little by little use a small fan or fan hands to help absorb up product in skin to help relieve the stinging sensation. It has not damaged or harmed my skin at all. But leaving Kojic san soap on to long can cause irration and burning leaving skin with sores or skin darking because it is the real acid in soap to remove old skin dead cells and bring in lighter brighter new skin. It tightens pores lightens skin by removing hyper pigmentation dark and brown spots which removed alot from my face and body. Will dry out skin so use a moisturizing lotion and sun block to prevent skin from re-darking. Stay out of the sunlight or skin will turn very dark. Do wash with soap and go out right after. It darkened my skin back up but i used soap again to continue lighting and it still reversed i do use soap when going out only when im inside all day.

Richtig klasse!
Ich benutze das Serum jetzt fast einen Monat und bin begeistert. Das Serum zieht schnell ein und hinterlässt keinen Fettfilm. Den Geruch empfinde ich als angenehm. Meine Haut fühlt sich nach dem Einwirken gut genährt und samtig an. Mittlerweile benutze ich jedes Serum dieser Marke und vertrage alle sehr gut und problemlos. Da ich eine trockene, sehr empfindliche Mischhaut habe, die stark zu Allergien neigt, ist das keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Mein Hautbild hat sich insgesamt sehr gebessert und auch das Hautgefühl ist einfach toll. Preis-Leistung ist meiner Meinung nach einfach genial!

GREAT PRODUCT
Absolutely loving the Tree of Life Retinol Serum for Face! This serum hits the sweet spot—powerful retinol benefits without feeling harsh or drying. It’s hydrating right from the first use thanks to the added hyaluronic acid, so my skin feels plump and smooth instead of tight. Over a few weeks, I’ve seen a noticeable difference in fine lines and uneven texture. My complexion looks clearer and more glowing, and redness has stayed minimal, which is huge for aging skin. Lightweight, easy to layer under moisturizer, and it plays well with my other products. If you’re after a gentle but effective retinol serum that supports hydration and youthful skin, this one is definitely worth trying!

It tingles, because it taking effect.
I read so many positive reviews, and thought, OK, it's cheap enough, so I have nothing to lose. Have been using it nightly for the past 3 and I haven't been disappointed. As a matter of fact, I am very pleased with my decision, I bought 3 bottles to give away to my 2 friends, so I will be buying again and again! I am pretty much convinced that both my friends will also! Try the serum, you have something to gain, and that's better skin texture!
